So, I'm doing pretty well on my knight enchanter. I have all tier 3 on all of my party members and I've killed every dragon in Emprise Du Lion. I recently went back to Valamar or however you spell it, to get the mosaic I missed there. The place was full of level 11 archers and such and I noticed I had low health all of a sudden and I just couldn't believe it, so I healed up to full and let an archer shoot me. I was one hit killed by this archer for a total of 1730ish damage. I have 334 armor rating from the warriors tier 3 armor which I'm able to wear on my mage through silverite and I have over 1k health. I don't know if the game hates me or if this is normal or what, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought and if anything similar happened to any of you. I'm playing on Nightmare difficulty, btw and I'm level 20 on my Knight Enchanter and getting 1 shot by the level 11 archers in Valammar XD.

There is just something wrong with archers damage, its really noticeable in multiplayer sometimes you take low damage other times you practically get one shot.
i remember being hit for 1700 or so damage in multi from one arrow.

So the AI proved quite exploitable, and I had little trouble, save for one encounter when the whole party except for Varric died, because Varric was standing behind a post and the archers couldn't see him. So he stayed behind cover and threw jars of bees into the room until everything was dead.

It seems that way. I feel like archers, revenants and the red templar shadows have broken damage output. They're easy enough to kill, so it's not really a problem, but sometimes they'll get you no matter what level you are and how geared you are. I've had a geared out tank with around 1.4k or 1.5k health, full guard, and barrier one shot before.

I just did Valammar at level 9 and found it filled with level 9 archers. And they do hit really hard, but they also had really low HP, and they wouldn't move to get a clear shot.

I did it around the same level, but I didn't have any trouble that time lol, but for some reason when I come back at level 20 they start one shotting me XD.

Did you have full barrier at the time? Because that would mean he hit you for around 6k. Otherwise, it would be probably around 2.5k, which is not unusual for a Full Draw crit. Maybe it's time to invest in "ranged defense" gear...

Wait until you run into prowlers and other DW stealth enemies who will OHK anyone in backline.
And hold your horses until you run into higher level wraiths and demon of despairs 
The damage they do is crazy. Am lvl 22 with 40% fire resist and a lvl 19 wraiths does 1/2 of my HP with 1 bolt if it hits me (on my rogue). A shield & sword enemy at this level if he gets to do a Charging Bull to your back line will 1 shot through barrier (since for some reason AI doesn't stop on impact, it's like the bulls with guard who keep moving / charging with you and doing damage every second).

Are you sure you don't have any Berserk gear? It can increase damage received up to 300%.

Archers on nightmare are like the only reason I consider going elf on nightmare. It's actually hilarious how quick they can rip through your team.
Don't worry man, it's not just you. Just murder them quick by fade veiling, fade stepping into their face and murdering them.

The enemies aren't usually a problem. I played through a few hundred hours on normal to scout what I would need for an OP nightmare run. It feels casual at times, but I'll occasionally just get too cocky and derp through these enemies without using any kind of tactics or ever controlling another party member and I'll get caught by a shadow or archer full draw while my barrier is low. I think it's hilarious, because I mostly deserved it. I was just curious if anyone else had these issues, because it feels strange that they do so much damage, considering I have 350 armor or so on my mage and over 1k health. I thought I was encountering a glitch or something, but I'm glad that they do have that kind of damage, honestly. The hardest part of the game for me was starting out and getting to Skyhold, but after that I felt like I was playing on Casual for the most part. Now it feels a little more challenging again at least.
The Revenants I fought in a particular area (Trying not to spoil anything) Were the hardest enemies I've faced in the game, granted they were a few levels higher, but their attack speed combined with their damage just decimated my barrier and would knock all the guard off of my tanks in one hit and kill them in the second. (4-5 hits with barrier on them) The last one took me a couple tries.
